Mr. RobertsonTo ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will make a statement on the EU intervention level for milk. [126958]
§ Ms QuinThere is no intervention price for milk under the CAP milk regime. The market is supported by means of intervention prices for butter and skimmed milk powder. The intervention price for butter is 3,282 euros per tonne and 2,055.2 for skimmed milk powder. The intervention prices expressed in sterling can vary on a daily basis since they are converted into national currency using the daily sterling/euro market rate of exchange.
